i really should be going over my virology but i haven't blogged in nearly a week and it sure feels odd.


first up, lots of stuff going on because of playhouse. it's back to ancient china this year so wuxia costumes and water sleeves are in the vogue. borrowing and seeking and making our own props and costumes is a true test of creativity and teamwork. three weeks till the performance, and a month to exams...you get the idea.


anyhoo, i was at the isetan private sale the other day, and despite the mountains of pretty clothes on sale, i was only able to buy a limited amount of clothing. as usual. several medicine ppl were there too, pulling skirt after skirt from the racks. i had to leave early, so after my purchase and bidding my goodbyes, i took the escalator down to the first floor. the view was spectacular. a sea of women clutching handbags, shopping bags and sleeping babies all hard at work locating the best bargains. consumerism at its best, and as if to prove the point, the lady in the escalator next to mine lost grip of her pram, and it toppled backwards, because there were so many bags hung on it. incredible. if not for the quick reflexes of a man just next to them, the baby would have experienced his first thrill ride. i have never seen a pram go over backwards because of the weight of clothes alone, but there it was, at a singapore sale.


now, back to virology...
